They instance the fact that there is a more connaent ieeimg among tne Mr. Davis continues-, "it would have been absolutely obliged to exclude the hypothesis of suicide and almost as certainly to exclude the hypothesis of a wound self-inflicted in any manner as the legislation of the cause of Lieut. Sutton's death." Of the two propositions referred to Mr. Davis states that of one of them related to the "quality and extent of evidence necessary to a verdict of -suicide, and the other respecting the conditions under which a phenomenal explanation of a given situation in this case, the nature of Lieut. Sutton's wound could tie accepted." Mr. Davis takes up the sixth finding of the court which declared that Sut ton "was killed by a revolver shot from a service Colt revolver held in his own right iand and ;fired by him self, withouf intervention of any oth- er band" and after, quoting extensive ly upon iiis point; frj t with of Lieut. Adams both before the Board of Inquest and the Court of Inquiry, he declares that if Adams' statement be frue, "obviously the fatal shot was not fired from the Colt revolver." Touching upon that feature of the investigation relating to the owner ship of the pistol at the time of the fatal encounter, Mr. Davis declares that "comment upon the court's utter failure to deal with this pregnant inci dent, would be superfluous." Referring to the fifth opinion of the court, "that the charges of wilful mur der and conspiracy to conceal it made by the -complainant, Mrs. Sutton, are "purely imaginary and unsupported, by even a shadow of evidence, truth or reason," Mr. Davis states that the av- those who think that the damage to erage civilian mind will have some difficulty In comprehending this state ment and he declares that the court was not convened to try any supposed charges of Mrs. Sutton but to inquire into and fix the responsibility of Lieut, Sutton's death.

The date for the nexf government report on cotton is close at hand. It can hardly fail to be bullish. If it is 70 per cent, it will have to be compar ed with 76' a year ago, 72.7 two years ago when the crop was only 11,375,000 i bales, and 72.1 in 1905, when it was only 11,346,000 bales. Mr. Sully had five short crops in succession to build his famous campaign of 1903-04 upon, and in most of those years the Sep tember condition was low, ranging from 64 in 1902 to 71.4 in 1901, al though, for an . exception in 1903 the September jconditiqh was for some reason putasl2iigbt31-2- It; did not pre vent the crop in that year from be ing another failure, 10,011,000 bales. The Sully era saw crops of only 9, 436,000 to 10,728,000 bales with an acreage raneins: from Z4.275.ouo 10 32,000,000 and upward during the last four years. With a larger acreage to reckon upon, but the conditions have been so bad according to many reports for some time past that Some very ex perienced people look for less than 11, 000,000 bales; which they consider would be practically a failure In view of the increased acreage and largely augmented consumption of American cotton. One explanation is that very many believe that present prices cannot' be sustained in the teeth of an expected big crop movement early in the season about to open.--Bull speculation has received several severe setbacks with in tne last rew monxns. xnere , are the crop is exaggerated and even heat privately reported as high as 118 de grees in some parts of - the Southwest has been in some respects beneficial. The minimum temperatures have,, in many cases been as low as 68! to '70 degrees. The future of prices hangs largely on the size of the crop move ment and the attitude of the spinner. If he buys heavily , bull speculation may revive. Otherwise it is believed that prices may sag to a point which will encourage professional operators (Continued on Page Eigfet.) - HUGE COUNTERFEIT SCHEME Roberts Brothers, a Woman (and Printer Arrested in Connection With $1,000,000 Deal Fake Railroad Stock. a,- vuvi a tx&s9 wu.b vu auJii.0 hi! confient that the price will, go up because of an Pfittmntorl nn rf nnW 1,00!

The steamer Fred Swain, Captain" Verne Swain, of the Peoria and LaSalle Packet Com pany, with 25 passengers and 15 sail ors aboard burned to the water today after the flaming craft had been pilot ed into four feet of water and the oc cupants had escaped to the bank of the Illinois river, up which the steamer was bound when to caught fire. No lives were lost but Joseph Cas rider the engineer was burned about the face and bbdy and Charles Relch berger, of Peoria, suffered a broken arm. The loss is $35,000. Several of the passengers lost their belongings. The escapes from the burning ves sel of the passengers, most of whom were women and children, was excit ing and at one time when flames were discovered issuing from the state room on the second deck panic reigned. Fears were partly calmed as the turning steamer drew nearer . shore and scores of row boats were seen hurriedly putting out to the rescue. The gang plank was lowered to the water's edge when ithe steamer had been beached and one row boat after another took off a load of passen gers and sailors. After two boats had started for shore the gang plank caught fire and fell away from the steamer, letting 15 persons, including several women and children into the water. Thomas Powers, of Peoria, and E. A. Caron, of Worcester, Mass., who were on the plank when it fell, each saved the lives of two -children, half carrying, and half swimming with the tots on their back and shoulders to old' tree stumps to await the arrival of rescuers. x The others who were thrown into the water by the collapse of the gang plank' were taken inooats to safety. Those still aboard the steamer man aged to let out a new gangway at a place farther from the flames . which were rapidly creeping over the boat. , The fire started in a state room and spread rapidly. Captain Swain, realiz ing that the vessel was doomed order ed Pilot Martin Huston to beach the boat and instructed his crew to deal out life preservers. Engineer Casrider, after .attending to the boilers to guard against an ex plosion went to the pumps, remaining there until, the flames licked his face. Severely burned and almost blind he turned to escape only to find that a rowboat which had been left for him had caught fire. i ; He got into the boat, however; and beating the flames from him and row ing hard reached shore. He was taken to a hospital, , Miss Furbish a cabin girl, who dis covered the fire, said: "I was . at work dusting and cleaning a state room in which the fire started. The whole room was in flames, the smoke blinding me. I gave the alarm and rush,ed to Inform Captain Swain. I do not know how the fire started unless It originated through sparks from the engine room." - v D. M. Swain, of Stillwater, Minn., owner of the burned steamer was in the Avery Manufacturing Company plant at Averyville, a suburb of Peoria, near which the steamer caught fire and he aided in rescuing the passen gers and crew. His son Verne, Cap tain of the vessel, was the last to leave the burning ship. Lewis Strang Pushed World's " Record For 100 Miles.

Strang and Zengel feared the honors of the sec ond 4a .of the automobile race meet in the new Indianapolis motor: speed way. .Strang won the fastest 100 mile ever held in this country while Zengel established a new ten mile record. No serious accident marred the day's racing. The only injury reported was . a bruised arm sustained by Bar ney Ordfield. Some; 19,000 spectators crowded the two bi$ stands and hundreds "of auto mobile! filled the parking spaces. The crowd was considerably larger than yestefdky. The feature of the day was the easr victory of Strang with a Buick in the 100 Inije race, the star event of the day. Strang led all the wav from the start ahl! won by about ten miles in the exceptional time of 1:37:48 5-10. At first It was thought his was a new record i for this country but the ofli- cials announced that they had decid ed the? mark of 1:32:18 9-10 made by Chevrolet in the first 100 miles of the 250 mile race of yesterday to stand, despite the fact that Chevrolet did not finish the race. ' String, however, beat Chevrolet's records for nearly all the distances be tween 20 and100 miles. Strang's time "was more than 11 minutes better than' the 100 mile track record mado by Btirman on a mile track at Colum bus,. Ohio, on July 3. DeWitt, in a Buick, finished second to Strang in .the long race In 1:41:32-3-10, and Stiilman, in a- Marmon, was third in 1:42:37 6-10.. Marroun, in a Marinon, was the only other of the seven starters to finish. The Buick (Chevrolet) ; Marlon (Monson) and Mari6n ilStutz) dropped out early in Strang never stopped - once during the 100 miles, his car working perfect ly all the way: His pace was uniform throughout. He increased his lead all the way. The American Automobile Associa tion will not withdraw its sanction from the meet as its officials are satis fied that the motor speedway owners have done all in their power to make the course safe. Before Strang started on his won d erf ul race, the "Tionors had gone . to Zengel who established a new ten mHe record in his Chadwick. This is the second time In the meet that this record has been broken. Chevrolet reduced in a Stoddard-Dayton, with a 30 second handicap, was third. Thir teen cars started, The ten mile race" for machines that will compete in the 300 mile race to morrow resulted in another victory for the National Ailken won In the creditable time of 9:26 6-10. . Herbert Little finished second In his Apperson nearly ten seconds behind Ailken. Mu! ford, In a Lozierwas third. The trial for a new mile record was disappointing, , as Walter Christie's freak racer of which much has been expected refused to show any desire to speed, and Christie finally gave up after being unable to get the rakish machine around the track once in warming up. Oldfield carried off the honors of the trials as he covered the mile in 0:43 2-10, only 1-10 of a second slower than the world's record made yesterday by him. Oldfield's old mark of 9:12 3-5 when he won a 10 mile race in 8:56 4-10, and Zengel slashed this to 8:23 2-10 in the 10 miles free for all today, while Aiken in a National finished sec ond in 8:32 6.10. The fifty mile race was a walkaway for Wright and Schwaitzer in the Stod dard-Dayton cars. They were the only drivers to finish out of the five start ers. The five mile free 'for all handicap, the most closely contested race of the day, resulted in a victory ' for Merz who drove a National. .His team mate, Ailken, finished one-tenth of a second behind him according to the electrical scoring machine. Ailkea really made the better time as his han dicap was ten seconds while Merz had an allowance of 20 seconds. (Special Star Correspondence.) Raleigh, N. C, Aug. 20. Major H, A London, Pittsboro, adjutant general of the North Carolina Division,: United Confederate Veterans, spent the day in- Raleigh looking after matters per taining to the approaching reunion at Charlotte. " He ays the outlook is very good for quite a. large attendance and tfiat the splendid preparations on the part of CharIotteto take care of the old vete rans is going a long way toward con straining veterans in all parts of the State "who are pot all too decrepit and ageaVto undertake the trip. While in Raleigh .Major--Ldndon made arrangements- for the Confederate " Drum Corps, famed throughout the South as the only remaining original drum corps of the Confederate - army, to attend. This corps ' has ' three mem-" bers remaining-J. J. Lewis, Wiley Johnson and W. B. ROyster. A movement is started here for theJ establishment of an up-to-date athletic park to be under the control of Ra leigh's league baseball interests. The park now used is the A. & M. athletic grounds In which right many Raleigh people have stock. However, the reg ulations and necessities of the college serfbiisly handicap the Raleigh league ball management especially in arrang ing for special college ; and other games before and after the league season. Furthermore, there is a pros pect for the Philadelphia league team to come to Raleigh to Winter. They would have to. have an adequate park separate from the college. There Is a good prospect for definite move in this direction early in the Fall; also for the formation of a yet stronger corpo ration to support Raleigh's league team next season. Nearly 1,500 excursionists spent the day in Raleigh, having come from Louisburg and intermediate stations on the Seaboard, from the North and from Monroe on the South and over the' Southern from Durham and from Wilson as the starting points for two largely patronized parties. The spe cial Attraction was the big doubts-' header ball game between Raleigh and Wilson and the lawn party tonight for the benefit of the Raleigh league team. The county has issued only 15 li censes for. near-beer, v four-fifths of these, being in Raleigh; This-tax is $20 each for the cbupty and the State.

Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 20. Donald M. Bain was acquitted at 10:30 tonight by a jury in the Fulton county Super ior court for the murder of G. E. WII liams. Not in years has a criminal trial in Georgia ' excited as much interest as has the trial of Bain, a prominent in surance broker, who last June shot and killed Williams, another Insurance brolfer, with desk -room in the same. office. There had been ill feeling be tween Bain. and Williams for several months and it was claimed that sev eral days prior to the shooting Wil liams, who was a much younger man than Bain, slapped the latter's face. On returning from a, trip of several days' duration, Williams accused Bain of having changed the wording of a note left by Williams on his dsk. Bain denied the charge, heated words followed and when Williams advanced toward the elder man, Bin drew a re volver and shot him dead. The plea of self-defense was sustained.
